Oh, apparently Laura's new skates were hurting her so much that she had to take them off immediately (she told in an interview) and it was hard to skate with them. I guess this time it was a good thing Also, I was almost sure she wasn't gonna deliver when they messed up the music...

Please dont say Butyrskaya. She was known for falling apart. Ksenia is a way better skater.

Well I meant stylistically: Ksenia has similar looks as the tall blonde, good posture and lines, commanding presence... (this relative to Leonova/Slutskaya with the sloppier but charismatic and energetic style.) She does seem more fluid than Butyskaya, which does bode well.
